There's a Libertarian mindset at the core of the membership of this social media that we are all going up against when we voice our concerns about this kind of stuff. The Libertarian "solution" to problems is to just let it work itself out over time. The market provides enough incentive without human interference in the form of "government", it is thought. That may be the case, but is sure as hell takes a lot longer for aberrant behavior to lose appeal when you just let "nature take its course", so to speak. This is why I am not a dogmatic Libertarian and tend to lean more toward the Progressive side of things because Progressives recognize human nature for what it is and are also willing to use some sort of "force" to keep people in line, and that's exactly what we are talking about when we are calling for removal of an account. That's basically a police action, when you get right down to it, kind of like putting someone in jail so they can't continue to harm anybody. I for one prefer to use some force along the way to increase the integrity of the platform because that turns into real dollars and cents with regard to how many investors are going to be willing to invest in Steem which in turn affects the price of Steem and how much I'm going to get out of being here.

Other than the social benefit I get from being here, which up to this point is still less than I get spending my time on Facebook because I have FB friends who are actually interested in the same things I'm interested in, I wonder if my time wouldn't be better spent just delivering pizza on the side and investing that money into Steem. I'm not sure at this point which would pay off better in the end.
